What did you do to your 987 today?

decided to switch up ye olde sidevents from carbon fiber to a graphite.....turned out a little better than anticipated

I did my first oil change since I've owned the car. Right around 4k miles since it was changed by the dealership prior to my purchase. I used Driven DT40 5w40. I decided to hold off on installing the LN engineering deep sump oil pan for now. I won't be tracking the car until next year. I did use the magnetic oil drain plug that I got with the kit. It seemed that 8 quarts even put me at the target of 3 out of 5 bars on the oil gauge. At first it was showing 3 out if 5 bars at 7.5 quarts. After a short drive, it was showing 2 out of 5 bars prior to the next start up.

Last weekend I changed the gear oil. I used Motul 300 75/90. It was very dirty looking. The shift feel was much improved. It feels a lot more light and crisp. The full volume was a little bit less than I had expected. I had read 3.2 quarts. I got just under 3 quarts before it started spilling out, with the car level. The car does have a Quaife LSD installed, I assume that it may be taking up some real estate and lowering the fill volume a bit.

Some janitorial maintenance to ensure air flow to the radiators and condensers. Probably posted many times, but in view of warmer weather , may be a reminder to other 987 owners to have a look and clean out the debris for summertime driving .A bit time consuming but worth it . In my case I also found a bent radiator bracket, courtesy of the PO

Cheers

Polished out Y- support, exhaust, cat and dog bones… I know… you’re thinking, why!? I’ve learned, when things are buried and or dirty etc it’s not really noticed, until it sparkles. 🤷‍♂️I don’t know

I had a little water in one of my clear side marker lights so I thought it was time to change them back to the way Porsche intended them to be. I can almost hear James May shouting "STANDARD!" I love the stock look.
